Dear Mr. Reynolds:

I return the Memorandum of Agreement about the third edition of THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND.

I do not see where translations come in this agreement, and I request that you tell me. I judge, although I am not sure, that Item 8— that net income other than first book rights shall be shared equally-applies to translations.

I hope to have the rest of the work in your hands soon.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:jh
